Number 2 is a great point. That’s what I hate about LinkedIn and why I only use it to look/apply for jobs and occasionally scroll through if I’m super bored.

My experience in my current job are endless cold emails from salespeople who don’t even understand that I have no use for their product. I work in a field where I have to research a lot of different equipment/parts for my client, but that I don’t use myself. I had to request a catalog from one of these places which involved giving my work email address. Now I get endless emails about how they’ll ‘be in my area’ (LOL no you won’t because I work remotely across the country from both my company and my client) and they want to demonstrate their new product…which I don’t use because I don’t work in that field. Makes me laugh every time and yes it is very spammy.

Haha no worries. Did you see the Kickstarter for the sequel to Star Control 2?

So I played it for a while several years ago and kinda got bored with it. I got to the bottom of the mine and had married one of the characters, and my farm (such as it was) was mostly automated so not much to do there. I know there are a bunch of story moments but I got tired of wandering around randomly trying to meet the conditions to trigger them. I wanted it to happen organically without looking it up. I just felt like I ran out of things to do and there was no point to keep playing.

At the same time, I want to play it on my Steam Deck because I did enjoy what I did play!

He would be an immediate block for me, anytime I see a sentence and not a job title under their name. It’s served me well so far the rare times I open LinkedIn.

After watching it completely through within the last few years, I can say I rank it higher than Voyager.

Interesting! I recently finished my playthru and while I feel like it slogged a bit at the end, it was good!

So, I’m not a big fan personally. Like, I get why people love it but it just doesn’t do anything for me. And I’m a dad to boot.

Islets. First Metroidvania I’ve ever tried and I love it.

Thanks for the review. I’ve had this one on my wishlist for a while!

I’m happy for people who like these games, but I am so tired of seeing articles about them in my feeds. They are still companies, they still don’t care about you, just your money, but everyone acts like these two are their best friends and the saviors of gaming.

She disguised herself as a Cardassian disguised as a Bajoran on a super deep cover operation.

I thought she WAS in the Academy but ended up leaving…

Edit: Yep, according to Memory Alpha:

Beginning in 2366, Torres attended Starfleet Academy, where she participated on the Academy decathlon team. She later admitted that after quitting “The track and field coach was furious with me” (VOY: “Basics, Part II”)

She also had to dodge several punches in the lab, which Chakotay later joked about, saying, “Only you, B’Elanna, could start a brawl in Astrotheory 101.” (VOY: “Future’s End, Part II”)

Interstellar history was, according to Torres, “the one subject I almost failed at the Academy.” (VOY: “Year of Heck”)

Also among her Academy training was EV suit simulations. She thought “they felt peaceful, like floating in the womb,” but years later, in actual practice, she said she felt “a little sick to [her] stomach.” (VOY: “Day of Honor”)

During her time at the Academy, B’Elanna dated Maxwell Burke; however, their relationship did not last long. (VOY: “Equinox”)

Ultimately, B’Elanna had a hard time fitting in, often getting into trouble with instructors and faculty. Within two years at the Academy, she was suspended once and had four disciplinary hearings against her. Even though quite a brilliant student and promising engineer, she eventually dropped out of the Academy in 2368, at the age of nineteen. (VOY: “Caretaker”, “Eye of the Needle”, “Parallax”, “Extreme Risk”)

One of Torres’ teachers at the Academy was Commander Zakarian, who taught Survival Strategies (VOY: “Caretaker”); another was Professor Chapman. Torres and Chapman argued constantly; she even later admitted that “I was always questioning his, his methods, his assumptions, and he was always slapping me down like some upstart kid.” She was later surprised to learn that Chapman thought she was one of the most promising students he had ever taught and was disappointed when she dropped out. He had placed a note in her permanent record saying he would support her if she ever reapplied. (VOY: “Parallax”)

Star Trek: Lower Decks Will End With Its Fifth, Final Season

Well hell.

Oh no.

Edit: In case I’m coming across sarcastic, I’m not. I loved LD probably the most of the new batch of Star Trek shows. It was just a joy to watch.

I came to a realization a few years ago that I am too boring to play sandbox games. I need a tightly crafted narrative, I cannot be left to my own devices. After a long time of trying to get into every sandbox game that looked cool, it was such a relief to finally realize that about myself.

I think Rocket League is cross-platform.

All I can think of is Strong Bad’s vector graphic head appearing and saying stuff like ‘your head a-splode’ in that voice you describe. :-)

I automatically block anyone in my feed who has a sentence as their job title. They are always garbage.

Incredible game, well worth your time if you haven’t played it.

This article really confused me because I thought Below Zero was Subnautica 2, LOL.

I keep meaning to pick this one up! I’ve got so many games on my wishlist and so little money lol.

Seeking: Kid-friendly Adventure/Exploration Games (PC)

My daughter (4) is very into exploring cities, homes and villages in Skyrim, feeding aliens in No Man’s Sky, and cleaning houses in House Flipper. She gets annoyed in games like House Flipper because she can’t leave the property to explore all of the visible houses on the block. I’d like to find other PC games that are...

Slime Rancher might be worth looking into.

I’ve never understood the term Metroidvania, and at this point, I’m afraid to ask.

@Klanky@sopuli.xyz avatar

Your example about BoTW is really good. I never played the earlier Zelda games and had near-zero interest in them. Then a friend let me borrow their BoTW cart and I absolutely fell in love with it. Still no interest in playing the earlier ones though.

Bouncing between Obduction and Eidolon.

A Steam Deck helps! I can lay in bed after the kid is asleep and knock out a half hour/hour session before sleep. Let’s not talk about the advisability of using devices in bed…

As someone who has used LinkedIn to find jobs, this is hilarious and 100% spot on.

Always wild to me that this is Del from TCaP.

Eidolon. Nice little gem, very relaxing and I’m constantly wanting to find the next scrap of info. I’ve been compiling them into a timeline as best I can.

Klanky,
@Klanky@sopuli.xyz avatar

Yeah and it’s almost impossible to find any info about it because of some stupid Warframe thing that uses ‘Eidolon’ in the title. Get out of here with that AAA microtransaction crap game. :-)

Klanky,
@Klanky@sopuli.xyz avatar

Exactly, what regular person even cares about this? It’s like the Obama giving an award to himself meme, all the AAA techbros congratulating each other.

Klanky,
@Klanky@sopuli.xyz avatar

Eh, to me it’s all boring. :-)

I just want to play Forza Horizon 4 that I stupidly bought on Game Pass, on my Steam Deck, without having to buy it on Steam.

Klanky,
@Klanky@sopuli.xyz avatar

One of many games on my wishlist. Looks really cool.

Klanky,
@Klanky@sopuli.xyz avatar

Ace Combat 7. Never played one before and loving the just-right arcade feel of the controls.

Star Control 2

Awesome, just joined! Gonna download the demo tonight.
